Your hair's thicker and healthier during a course of accutane?

Or maybe you've finally taken care of your acne within the past year, and the worries/stress over it have been relieved... and the hair you've lost or that has thinned out over this stressful period is returning : )

Constant stress is a major drag on the body.

I have no idea ;-( It just feels so thick, my mom was the one that brought it to my attention I am deep conditioning it 2-3 times a week but I was doing that prior to accutane. I'm sure stress def doesnt help

Are you on birth control?

To the orginal poster, No one can tell wether it will go back to normal. For some yes, and others no! Not sure on the hair color change though. Maybe talk to the derm and lower your dose. Unless you have severe acne no need for such a high dose and even then that's pushing it.

To the OP- talk to your derm about maybe lowering your dose. No one can say wether it will come back to normal or not. For some yes, and for some No. Are you loosing hair?

I was on 80mg Accutane every day for 5.5 months, I never got any hair-loss, but it messed with my hair by making my scalp REALLY dry.

While I was on Tane I had TERRIBLE dandruff.. My scalp was soooooo dry, and my hair felt rough like straw it was so dry, haha.

It has happened to me too. My hair went from light brown/blonde to a dark brown color. My hair is also thicker than it use to be.

My derm is 70 so he's been practicing for some time. He said that back in the day when the standard dose of Accutane was 2mg/kg, one of his patient's hair became curly. So yeah, stuff like that has been known to happen. I don't know if it will reverse itself when you stop.

I took Roaccutane for 8 months in 2003 when I was 16 and am now considering taking another course now at 26 but hair loss is one of the major factors that's making me not want to do it.

When I took Roaccutane in 2003 my hair grew REALLY FAST. So fast that you could see it week to week. Unfortunately, it grew fast but fell out quickly too. I would brush my hair in the shower when the conditioner was in it (to prevent breakage/damage) and I would look in the brush and it would be FULL of hair. I finished Roaccutane in late 2003 and my hair never returned to it's former self. In fact, my hair has been thinning steadily over the last 10 years. I am not 100% sure it's because of Roaccutane but I really do feel it may be. It sucks because I never had thick hair to begin with.
